What Responsible Gaming Means at FantasyGems

At FantasyGems, we genuinely believe that gaming should be a source of entertainment — something you enjoy alongside cricket betting on PSL matches, a few rounds in the Game Lobby, or a session of bingo. It should never feel like an obligation, a fix for stress, or a way to recover money you have already lost.

Pakistan has a vibrant sports culture. From T20 internationals to the excitement of PSL season, fans love the thrill of following the game. When that passion extends to sports betting or casino games on FantasyGems, we want to make sure it stays fun and manageable. That is why we have built a set of practical tools directly into the platform — tools that let you control how much you spend, how long you play, and when you need to step back.

Responsible gaming is not just a policy page for us. It is a commitment we take seriously. Our support team is trained to recognise when a player might be struggling, and we have a clear process for helping anyone who reaches out. Whether you want to set a daily deposit cap in PKR, take a week-long cooling-off period, or permanently close your account, we make it simple and fast.

This page covers everything you need to know: the tools available to you, the warning signs of problem gambling to watch out for, practical tips for keeping gaming healthy, answers to common questions, and how to contact us if you need support.

All responsible gaming features on FantasyGems are completely free to use. There is no fee, no waiting period for most restrictions, and no penalty for requesting account limits or closures.

Responsible Gaming Tools Built Into FantasyGems

Practical controls you can activate anytime, straight from your account

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount in PKR that you are allowed to deposit per day, week or month. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are processed until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly; raising it requires a short cooling-off period by design.

Session Time Reminders

Lose track of time during a long PSL match or a late-night slot session? Set a session duration reminder and we will notify you when you have been playing for your chosen length of time. It is a simple nudge — but it makes a real difference.

Loss Limits

Decide in advance the maximum you are comfortable losing in any given period. When your net losses reach that figure, the platform pauses betting activity for the rest of the period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing chasing behaviour.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break — a few days, a week, or a month? A cooling-off period temporarily restricts your access to betting and gaming. Your account remains open and your balance is secure, but you cannot place bets or make deposits during the period.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion is available for periods of six months, one year, or indefinitely. During self-exclusion, your account is fully deactivated, you will not receive any promotional communications, and reactivation requires a formal review process.

Direct Support Access

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone. Our support team is available around the clock. If you mention responsible gaming concerns — whether that is managing a budget, a family member's account, or a feeling that things are getting out of hand — they are trained to respond with care and without judgment.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling often develops gradually. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first step to getting back in control.

1
Chasing Losses

Continuing to play specifically to win back money you have already lost, rather than for enjoyment. This is one of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling.

2
Playing With Money You Cannot Afford

Depositing funds that are meant for rent, utility bills, groceries or family expenses — or borrowing money from friends or family to continue playing.

3
Preoccupation With Gaming

Thinking about betting or gaming constantly, planning your next session while at work or with family, or feeling restless and irritable when you are unable to play.

4
Hiding Your Activity

Concealing how much you play or how much money you have spent from family members, lying about your wins and losses, or feeling ashamed about your gaming habits.

5
Needing to Bet More to Feel the Same Thrill

Progressively increasing the size of your bets or the frequency of your sessions to get the same level of excitement — similar to developing a tolerance.

6
Gaming to Escape Problems

Using gaming or betting as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, financial pressure or other personal problems rather than addressing them directly.

Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming

These straightforward habits can make a big difference to how gaming fits into your daily life.

Set a gaming budget every month. Decide in advance how much of your income you are comfortable spending on entertainment including gaming. Treat it like any other monthly expense — once it is gone, it is gone until next month.

Use a timer. Before you start a session, decide how long you will play. Set an alarm on your phone. When it goes off, log out — regardless of whether you are up or down.

Never chase a loss. If you have hit your budget for the day and you are down, accept it and close the app. The worst decisions in gambling almost always come immediately after a losing streak.

Play for entertainment, not income. Approach betting on Cricket, PSL or casino games the same way you would a cinema ticket — it is money spent on enjoyment, and the outcome is uncertain by design.

Avoid playing when tired, stressed or emotional. Decision-making is significantly worse when you are emotionally depleted. Late-night sessions after a frustrating day are when most poor betting decisions happen.

Keep the people around you informed. Telling a trusted friend or family member about your gaming habits adds a healthy layer of accountability and means someone close to you can flag concerns early.

Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen between sessions, take days off during the week, and use FantasyGems' cooling-off tool if you feel you need a longer reset.

Gaming and betting should never be used to solve financial problems. If you are under financial pressure, please step back from the platform and speak to someone you trust before depositing any further funds.

Quick Self-Assessment

Honest answers to these questions can help you evaluate your relationship with gaming.

1. In the past 30 days, have you spent more on gaming than you originally planned?

Never Once or twice Regularly Almost always

2. Have you continued playing to try to win back money after a losing session?

Never Occasionally Often

3. Has gaming interfered with your work, studies or family time in the last month?

Not at all A little Noticeably Significantly

4. Do you feel anxious, irritable or restless when you are unable to play for a few days?

No Slightly Yes, noticeably

5. Have you ever concealed the amount of money or time you spent on gaming from someone close to you?

Never Once or twice Yes, more than once

6. Have you ever used money set aside for bills, groceries or other essentials to fund gaming?

Never Once More than once

If your answers lean toward the higher-frequency options in two or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a deposit limit or cooling-off period on FantasyGems, and to speak with our support team. This assessment is not a clinical tool — it is a prompt for self-reflection.

Protecting Younger Family Members

FantasyGems is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take the protection of minors seriously and have several measures in place to prevent underage access. However, we also encourage adult players to take steps at home to ensure younger family members cannot access their accounts.

Use a Strong, Private Password

Never save your FantasyGems login credentials in a shared browser or device. Use a password that younger family members could not easily guess.

Log Out After Each Session

Always log out of FantasyGems when you are done playing, especially on a shared phone or tablet in the household.

Enable Parental Controls

Use your device's built-in parental control features to restrict access to gaming websites on devices used by children in your household.

Keep Payment Details Secure

Do not allow your JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank card details to be saved in a way that others in your household could access and use for deposits.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed a FantasyGems account, please contact our support team immediately. We will investigate promptly and take appropriate action including account closure and return of any relevant funds.

Responsible Gaming – Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Pakistani players about staying safe on FantasyGems

Log in to your FantasyGems account and go to the Account Settings or Responsible Gaming section. From there you can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in PKR. The limit takes effect immediately. If you wish to lower your limit further, the change applies straight away. If you want to raise an existing limit, there is a short review period built in to help protect you from impulsive decisions.

A cooling-off period is a short, temporary break — typically a few days up to a few weeks — during which you cannot place bets or make deposits. Your account remains open and your balance is secure. Self-exclusion is a longer, more formal deactivation that can last six months, one year, or indefinitely. During self-exclusion you will be removed from all marketing lists and reactivation requires a formal review. If you are unsure which option suits your situation, contact our support team for guidance.

Yes. Any balance remaining in your FantasyGems account at the time of self-exclusion is yours and can be withdrawn. Contact our support team and they will process the withdrawal to your registered JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank account in PKR. We will not hold your funds — the self-exclusion is about restricting gaming activity, not your money.

The most helpful first step is to have an honest, non-judgmental conversation with them about what you have noticed. If they are willing to take a break, encourage them to contact FantasyGems support directly to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. If they are not ready to engage, you can contact our support team yourself — while we cannot share account details with third parties for privacy reasons, we can advise you on next steps and available resources for families dealing with problem gambling.

No. Once you have activated a deposit limit, cooling-off period or self-exclusion, FantasyGems will not send you promotional messages, bonus offers or any communications designed to encourage you to deposit or play more. You will only receive essential account communications — such as a transaction confirmation for a pending withdrawal — during a restricted period.

Yes — the minimum age is 18. All players are required to confirm their date of birth during registration. We may request a copy of your CNIC or other identity document to verify your age if we have any reason to doubt the information provided. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 years of age is closed immediately and any deposits are returned.
